There’s always been a strong tie between cautionary tales of witches and the patriarchal fear of powerful women, but feminism and stories of witchcraft are much more linked than one might assume. Some of the most important witch stories in pop-culture history were influenced by major feminist writings.

In which John Green finally gets around to talking about some women's history. In the19th Century, the United States was changing rapidly, as we noted in the recent Market Revolution and ReformMovements episodes. Things were also in a state of flux for women. The reform movements, which were in large part driven by women, gave these self-same women the idea that they could work on their own behalf, and radically improve the state of their own lives. So, while these women were working on prison reform, education reform, and abolition, they also started talking about equal rights, universal suffrage, temperance, and fair pay. Women like Susan B. Anthony, Carry Nation, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the Grimkés, and Lucretia Mott strove tirelessly to improve the lot of American women, and it worked, eventually. John will teach you about the ChristianTemperanceUnion, the Seneca Falls Convention, the Declaration of Sentiments, and a whole bunch of other stuff that made life better for women.

In which John Green teaches you about American women in the Progressive Era and, well, the progress they made. So the big deal is, of course, the right to vote women gained when the 19th amendment was passed and ratified. But women made a lot of other gains in the 30 years between 1890 and 1920. More women joined the workforce, they acquired lots of other legal rights related to property, and they also became key consumers in the industrial economy. Women also continued to play a vital role in reform movements. Sadly, they got Prohibition enacted in the US, but they did a lot of good stuff, too. The field of social work emerged as women like Jane Addams created settlement houses to assist immigrants in their integration into the United States. Women also began to work to make birth control widely available. You'll learn about famous reformers and activists like Alice Paul, Margaret Sanger, and Emma Goldman, among others.

If someone asked, "Are you a feminist?" how would you respond? Most Americans—including large majorities of women—say no. In theAEI book, "Freedom Feminism: Its Surprising History and Why it MattersToday," Christina Hoff Sommers seeks to recover the lost history of American feminism by introducing readers to feminism's forgotten heroines. She demonstrates that a new philosophy of "freedom feminism"—in which women are free to employ their equal status to pursue happiness in their own distinctive ways—holds the key to a feminist renaissance.

On January 21, 2017, millions around the world marched to promote legislation and policies supporting women’s rights, among other things. The main event was in Washington, D.C., known as the Women’s March on Washington. It featured over half a million people, and was the largest political demonstration in D.C. since the anti-Vietnam War protests of the 1960s and 1970s.
The Women’s March is evidence that feminism is alive and well. Just so we’re clear, feminism is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. Feminists who protest think we are not there yet.
But how did feminism begin? Obviously, in this video I will tell you, and I’ll have a little help from my new friend Sami from US 101. Be sure to check out his YouTube channel. It’s pretty much amazing.
Most historians agree that the modern feminist movement began on July 19th and 20th, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. It became known as the Seneca Falls Convention. Organizers advertised it as “a convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of woman.”
Ok, so that was a bit grammatically incorrect, but you get the idea.
The convention’s two main organizers were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, who became friends 8 years prior at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. Stanton had earned a reputation as an influential activist for years, known first as a leading abolitionist and then later as a leading proponent of women’s suffrage. Mott was known for the same but also for being a powerful speaker and a Quaker, a branch of Christianity strongly tied to many of the major reforms of the 1800s, like the temperance movement.
At that anti-slavery convention, the men forced the women sit in a separate area. This really upset Stanton and Mott, and the two talked about the possibility of starting a women’s rights convention.
Flash forward 8 years later, and Stanton was now living in Seneca Falls. Meanwhile, Mott was visiting her sister, Martha Coffin Wright, in nearby Waterloo. When Mott and her sister went to hang out with Stanton, along with Mary Ann McClintock and Jane Hunt, the five of them had decided that the time was right. Five days later, the Seneca Falls Convention took place. It was the first women’s rights convention in history. There wasn’t a lot of people there, most because it wasn’t really advertised that well. Of the 300 in attendance, 40 were men.
While the Seneca Falls Convention featured some lectures and discussions and the usual convention type stuff, it’s most famous contribution was the signing of the Declaration of Sentiments. Elizabeth Cady Stanton mostly wrote the document, modeling it after the Declaration of Independence. It summarized the injustices women regularly encountered and offered 11 resolutions to give women equality. Over two days at the convention, the leaders of the convention read and debated these resolutions.

Women can now be found in prominent and important positions everywhere in contemporary society, and that’s a good thing. You can see them succeeding in a wide variety of institutions such as politics, sports, business, arts, entertainment, science, technology, the fashion industry (which they dominate), and many other fields once considered a man’s territory. Of course, things weren’t always this way, and let’s not forget that women still can’t vote and are not considered equal to men in quite a few developing countries worldwide. For centuries, women weren’t allowed to do or participate in things we take for granted today such as competing at the Olympics or performing in a play, so while we've come a long way, there's still a long way to go for the feminist movement.
Nothing has easily and freely been given to women; they have had to struggle and in many cases wage bloody battles for the rights and positions they now hold in modern society. Many women became martyrs and lost their lives during the process so that millions of women today could enjoy various freedoms and opportunities. Today we proudly present 25 Intriguing Facts About The History Of The Feminist Movement in honor of all the amazing women, both well-known and unsung, who paved the way for women’s rights and equality.

The word “feminism” first appeared in the English language in the 1890's, even though the struggle of women against discrimination and sexism was much older. (Source: dictionary.cambridge.org)
The feminist movement is often divided into two major waves. The first wave began with the suffragette movement and the struggle to extend the right to vote to women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The second wave spanned the mid-1960's through the late 1970's with debates about abortion and equal pay. (Source: britannica.com)
The first country to grant women the right to vote in the modern age was New Zealand in 1893. (Source: womensissues.about.com)
You might think that Hillary Clinton is the first woman to run for US president, but that honor belongs to Victoria Woodhull, who ran for the office in 1872 under the National Woman’s Suffrage Association. While women were not able to vote, there were no laws prohibiting them from running for office. (Source: history.com)
The first woman in the modern era to rule a country as an elected leader was Sirimavo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka, who was elected prime minister in 1960 and then later reelected in 1970. (Source: history.com)
Wyoming was the first state to grant voting rights to women. It was also the first to elect a female governor. (Source: history.com)
Long before woman's suffrage in 1777, sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington became a heroine of the American Revolutionary War when she rode her horse, Star, to warn the colonial forces that the British were approaching. (Source: history.com)
In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive, but they are currently challenging this law. (Source: womensissues.about.com)
The first woman to receive a Pulitzer Prize was Edith Wharton in 1921 for her novel, The Age of Innocence. (Source: pulitzer.org)
Fifty-two countries have had a female head of state over the past fifty years, including England, India, Bangladesh, SriLanka, Pakistan, and Liberia. However, the United States is among those that never have, though Hillary Clinton might change that in a few months. (Source: womensissues.about.com)

UCL History of Art - ResearchSeminar - 4th December 2014
Speaker: ProfessorGriselda PollockSubject: Making Feminist Memories: Woman in Art: From Type to Personality by HelenRosenau
Griselda Pollock is a visual theorist and cultural analyst, and scholar of international, postcolonial feminist studies in the visual arts. She is best known for her theoretical and methodological innovation, combined with readings of historical and contemporary art, film and cultural theory. Since 1977, Pollock has been one of the most influential scholars of modern, avant-garde art, postmodern art, and contemporary art. She is also a major influence in feminist theory, feminist art history and gender studies.
In this lecture as part of the the Research Seminar series held by the UCL History of Art department she discusses the book Woman in Art: From Type to Personality by Helen Rosenau.

History

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

History (from Greekἱστορία, historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation") is the study of the past, particularly how it relates to humans. It is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events. Scholars who write about history are called historians. Events occurring prior to written record are considered prehistory.

History can also refer to the academic discipline which uses a narrative to examine and analyse a sequence of past events, and objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect that determine them. Historians sometimes debate the nature of history and its usefulness by discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present.

Stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the tales surrounding King Arthur), are usually classified as cultural heritage or legends, because they do not show the "disinterested investigation" required of the discipline of history.Herodotus, a 5th-century BC Greek historian is considered within the Western tradition to be the "father of history", and, along with his contemporary Thucydides, helped form the foundations for the modern study of human history. Their works continue to be read today, and the gap between the culture-focused Herodotus and the military-focused Thucydides remains a point of contention or approach in modern historical writing. In Asia, a state chronicle, the Spring and Autumn Annals was known to be compiled from as early as 722 BC although only 2nd century BC texts survived.

Crash Course

Plot

Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.

The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.

Seneca Falls Convention

The Seneca Falls Convention was the first women's rights convention. It advertised itself as "a convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of woman".
Held in Seneca Falls, New York, it spanned two days over July 19–20, 1848. Attracting widespread attention, it was soon followed by other women's rights conventions, including one in Rochester, New York, two weeks later. In 1850 the first in a series of annual
National Women's Rights Conventions met in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Female Quakers local to the area organized the meeting along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who was not a Quaker. They planned the event during a visit to the area by Philadelphia-based Lucretia Mott. Mott, a Quaker, was famous for her oratorical ability, which was rare during an era which women were often not allowed to speak in public.

The meeting had six sessions, included a lecture on law, a humorous presentation, and multiple discussions about the role of women in society. Stanton and the Quaker women presented two prepared documents, the Declaration of Sentiments and an accompanying list of resolutions, to be debated and modified before being put forward for signatures. A heated debate sprang up regarding women's right to vote, with many including Mott urging the removal of this concept, but Frederick Douglass argued eloquently for its inclusion, and the suffrage resolution was retained. Exactly 100 of approximately 300 attendees signed the document, mostly women.

History of the United States

The date of the start of the history of the United States is a subject of constant debate among historians. Older textbooks start with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492 and emphasize the European background, or they start around 1600 and emphasize the American frontier. In recent decades American schools and universities typically have shifted back in time to include more on the colonial period and much more on the prehistory of the Native peoples.

In the 1760s the British government imposed a series of new taxes while rejecting the American argument that any new taxes had to be approved by the people (see Stamp Act 1765). Tax resistance, especially the Boston Tea Party (1774), led to punitive laws (the Intolerable Acts) by Parliament designed to end self-government in Massachusetts. American Patriots (as they called themselves) adhered to a political ideology called republicanism that emphasized civic duty, virtue, and opposition to corruption, fancy luxuries and aristocracy.

The Secret Feminist History of Witches, As Told by a Practicing Witch

There’s always been a strong tie between cautionary tales of witches and the patriarchal fear of powerful women, but feminism and stories of witchcraft are much more linked than one might assume. Some of the most important witch stories in pop-culture history were influenced by major feminist writings.

The word “feminism” first appeared in the English language in the 1890's, even though the struggle of women against discrimination and sexism was much older. (Source: dictionary.cambridge.org)
The feminist movement is often divided into two major waves. The first wave began with the suffragette movement and the struggle to extend the right to vote to women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The second wave spanned the mid-1960's through the late 1970's with debates about abortion and equal pay. (Source: britannica.com)
The first country to grant women the right to vote in the modern age was New Zealand in 1893. (Source: womensissues.about.com)
You might think that Hillary Clinton is the first woman to run for US president, but that honor belongs to Victoria Woodhull, who ran for the office in 1872 under the National Woman’s Suffrage Association. While women were not able to vote, there were no laws prohibiting them from running for office. (Source: history.com)
The first woman in the modern era to rule a country as an elected leader was Sirimavo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka, who was elected prime minister in 1960 and then later reelected in 1970. (Source: history.com)
Wyoming was the first state to grant voting rights to women. It was also the first to elect a female governor. (Source: history.com)
Long before woman's suffrage in 1777, sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington became a heroine of the American Revolutionary War when she rode her horse, Star, to warn the colonial forces that the British were approaching. (Source: history.com)
In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive, but they are currently challenging this law. (Source: womensissues.about.com)

Fifty-two countries have had a female head of state over the past fifty years, including England, India, Bangladesh, SriLanka, Pakistan, and Liberia. However, the United States is among those that never have, though Hillary Clinton might change that in a few months. (Source: womensissues.about.com)

A History of Western Feminism...in 101 Seconds

KnowledgePunk proudly presents...A History of Western Feminism in 101Seconds.
Although often radically different in terms of their methods and specific goals, in general the term feminism relates to the movement to obtain increased legal, social and political rights for women. The history of the modern western feminist movements is usually divided into three so-called "waves".
The first wave focused on de jure (officially mandated) inequalities, which focused in particular on increased political rights. One of the key texts which shaped first wave feminism was Mary Wollstonecraft's 1792 A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. The movement reached its culmination with the rise of the women's suffrage movement of the early 20th century, which demanded women be given the right to vote.
The second wave was associated with the demands of the women's liberation movement, starting around the 1960s, and campaigned against de facto (unofficial) inequalities. It focused particularly on legal and social equality for women, concentrating on issues such as equality in the workplace, reproductive rights and divorce law.
The third wave, emerging in the 1990s, seeks to address what it considers the "essentialism" of second wave feminism and its emphasis on upper-middle class white women. Its focus is more disparate than the previous two waves, concentrating on issues such as gender violence and the "reclamation" of derogatory terms.

The Problem with Feminism in the 21st Century in 7 Minutes

Some of you are probably already triggered. My bad I should have put a trigger warning on the video title for all the current college students. Ok. I’m probably gonna get a lot of heat for this video. We all probably have strong feelings about this topic, whether they are in one direction or the other. But my point is not to offend, but to have a discussion about why feminism is being attacked so harshly on one side and defended like the city of Gondor in Lord of the Rings on the other. We live in dividing times – but haven’t we always? Why not try to build a bridge on such a divide rather than continually burn one? Maybe it will help. But then again maybe it won’t.

Autumn by Mad SmokyFirst a quick history of feminism. Feminism first arose as a political and social movement in the late 1800's and early 1900's. We call this period of feminism: first wave feminism. The goal was simple. Create laws that give women equal rights. Some laws were for things like marriage, parenting, property, and the right to vote. You see, the rights of women in history and in almost every country have been subjected to the power of men. And many of their rights have been trampled. Of course this isn’t really a controversial idea and it's accepted by all but the most ignorant of people today. Women throughout history have gotten the short end of the stick and if you deny that, well – I don’t even know what to say about that.
In the1960s second wave feminism began. This is where the controversy occurs. Second wave feminism focused and continues to focus on wider issues. Issues like sexuality, reproductive rights, and domestic violence. In essence you can think of it as fighting against gender discrimination. And many of these rights are still being fought for around the U.S. and the world. Second wave feminists also believe that we live in a sexist power structure. In a society and political system that dictates how the personal lives of women should be. If you've ever watched the show Mad Men or any movie set before the 1960s - you'll know what I'm talking about. Very few women were able to work in business and hardly any in the government. That was the man's place. Again this is not very controversial. It hasn't been until recently that women have been able to work in fields like business or the government. And women still don't have a lot of the rights that second wave feminists have been fighting for, for the past 50 years. In the1990's the third wave of feminism began. It started in response to the perceived failures of second wave feminism. Part of that was also because women of color were not included in second wave feminism.
Third wave feminism thus was born. There are two main problems that third wave feminists have with second wave feminists. First they both think of sexuality in different ways. Think of it like this - second wave feminists are against porn and think it's degrading to women. Third wave feminism are all good with porn as long as the woman is a consenting adult. In fact many believe its empowering. Second - third wave feminist tries to expand feminism so that it doesn't just represent what white women want. But instead it tries to include women of all backgrounds. In fact Rebecca Walker created the term "Third Wave" to put focus on queer women and women of color. Third wave feminists focus less on political changes and more on individualistic identity. Things like queer theory and gender roles. Ok. So you might ask yourself what the problem is? I mean women of color, queer people, and white women all deserve to live in a just society that respects them regardless of their identity and doesn't discriminate against them because of it.

First Wave Feminism without White Women

The history of women's fight for the vote you never hear about. Because without women of color and the abolition movement, suffrage never would've happened.

Meet the feminists your professors never told you about

If someone asked, "Are you a feminist?" how would you respond? Most Americans—including large majorities of women—say no. In theAEI book, "Freedom Feminism: Its Surprising History and Why it MattersToday," Christina Hoff Sommers seeks to recover the lost history of American feminism by introducing readers to feminism's forgotten heroines. She demonstrates that a new philosophy of "freedom feminism"—in which women are free to employ their equal status to pursue happiness in their own distinctive ways—holds the key to a feminist renaissance.

Women can now be found in prominent and important positions everywhere in contemporary society, and that’s a good thing. You can see them succeeding in a wide variety of institutions such as politics, sports, business, arts, entertainment, science, technology, the fashion industry (which they dominate), and many other fields once considered a man’s territory. Of course, things weren’t always this way, and let’s not forget that women still can’t vote and are not considered equal to men in quite a few developing countries worldwide.

In which John Green finally gets around to talking about some women's history. In the19th Century, the United States was changing rapidly, as we noted in the recent Market Revolution and ReformMovements episodes. Things were also in a state of flux for women. The reform movements, which were in large part driven by women, gave these self-same women the idea that they could work on their own behalf, and radically improve the state of their own lives. So, while these women were working on prison reform, education reform, and abolition, they also started talking about equal rights, universal suffrage, temperance, and fair pay. Women like Susan B. Anthony, Carry Nation, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the Grimkés, and Lucretia Mott strove tirelessly to improve the lot of American women, and it worked, eventually. John will teach you about the ChristianTemperanceUnion, the Seneca Falls Convention, the Declaration of Sentiments, and a whole bunch of other stuff that made life better for women.

On January 21, 2017, millions around the world marched to promote legislation and policies supporting women’s rights, among other things. The main event was in Washington, D.C., known as the Women’s March on Washington. It featured over half a million people, and was the largest political demonstration in D.C. since the anti-Vietnam War protests of the 1960s and 1970s.
The Women’s March is evidence that feminism is alive and well. Just so we’re clear, feminism is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. Feminists who protest think we are not there yet.
But how did feminism begin? Obviously, in this video I will tell you, and I’ll have a little help from my new friend Sami from US 101. Be sure to check out his YouTube channel. It’s pretty much amazing.
Most historians agree that the modern feminist movement began on July 19th and 20th, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. It became known as the Seneca Falls Convention. Organizers advertised it as “a convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of woman.”
Ok, so that was a bit grammatically incorrect, but you get the idea.
The convention’s two main organizers were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, who became friends 8 years prior at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. Stanton had earned a reputation as an influential activist for years, known first as a leading abolitionist and then later as a leading proponent of women’s suffrage. Mott was known for the same but also for being a powerful speaker and a Quaker, a branch of Christianity strongly tied to many of the major reforms of the 1800s, like the temperance movement.
At that anti-slavery convention, the men forced the women sit in a separate area. This really upset Stanton and Mott, and the two talked about the possibility of starting a women’s rights convention.
Flash forward 8 years later, and Stanton was now living in Seneca Falls. Meanwhile, Mott was visiting her sister, Martha Coffin Wright, in nearby Waterloo. When Mott and her sister went to hang out with Stanton, along with Mary Ann McClintock and Jane Hunt, the five of them had decided that the time was right. Five days later, the Seneca Falls Convention took place. It was the first women’s rights convention in history. There wasn’t a lot of people there, most because it wasn’t really advertised that well. Of the 300 in attendance, 40 were men.
While the Seneca Falls Convention featured some lectures and discussions and the usual convention type stuff, it’s most famous contribution was the signing of the Declaration of Sentiments. Elizabeth Cady Stanton mostly wrote the document, modeling it after the Declaration of Independence. It summarized the injustices women regularly encountered and offered 11 resolutions to give women equality. Over two days at the convention, the leaders of the convention read and debated these resolutions.

On January 21, 2017, millions around the world marched to promote legislation and policies supporting women’s rights, among other things. The main event was in Washington, D.C., known as the Women’s March on Washington. It featured over half a million people, and was the largest political demonstration in D.C. since the anti-Vietnam War protests of the 1960s and 1970s.
The Women’s March is evidence that feminism is alive and well. Just so we’re clear, feminism is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. Feminists who protest think we are not there yet.

Women can now be found in prominent and important positions everywhere in contemporary society, and that’s a good thing. You can see them succeeding in a wide variety of institutions such as politics, sports, business, arts, entertainment, science, technology, the fashion industry (which they dominate), and many other fields once considered a man’s territory. Of course, things weren’t always this way, and let’s not forget that women still can’t vote and are not considered equal to men in quite a few developing countries worldwide. For centuries, women weren’t allowed to do or participate in things we take for granted today such as competing at the Olympics or performing in a play, so while we've come a long way, there's still a long way to go for the feminist movement.
Nothing has easily and freely been given to women; they have had to struggle and in many cases wage bloody battles for the rights and positions they now hold in modern society. Many women became martyrs and lost their lives during the process so that millions of women today could enjoy various freedoms and opportunities. Today we proudly present 25 Intriguing Facts About The History Of The Feminist Movement in honor of all the amazing women, both well-known and unsung, who paved the way for women’s rights and equality.

The feminist movement is often divided into two major waves. The first wave began with the suffragette movement and the struggle to extend the right to vote to women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The second wave spanned the mid-1960's through the late 1970's with debates about abortion and equal pay. (Source: britannica.com)

KnowledgePunk proudly presents...A History of Western Feminism in 101Seconds.
Although often radically different in terms of their methods and specific goals, in general the term feminism relates to the movement to obtain increased legal, social and political rights for women. The history of the modern western feminist movements is usually divided into three so-called "waves".
The first wave focused on de jure (officially mandated) inequalities, which focused in particular on increased political rights. One of the key texts which shaped first wave feminism was Mary Wollstonecraft's 1792 A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. The movement reached its culmination with the rise of the women's suffrage movement of the early 20th century, which demanded women be given the right to vote.
The second wave was associated with the demands of the women's liberation movement, starting around the 1960s, and campaigned against de facto (unofficial) inequalities. It focused particularly on legal and social equality for women, concentrating on issues such as equality in the workplace, reproductive rights and divorce law.
The third wave, emerging in the 1990s, seeks to address what it considers the "essentialism" of second wave feminism and its emphasis on upper-middle class white women. Its focus is more disparate than the previous two waves, concentrating on issues such as gender violence and the "reclamation" of derogatory terms.

Some of you are probably already triggered. My bad I should have put a trigger warning on the video title for all the current college students. Ok. I’m probably gonna get a lot of heat for this video. We all probably have strong feelings about this topic, whether they are in one direction or the other. But my point is not to offend, but to have a discussion about why feminism is being attacked so harshly on one side and defended like the city of Gondor in Lord of the Rings on the other. We live in dividing times – but haven’t we always? Why not try to build a bridge on such a divide rather than continually burn one? Maybe it will help. But then again maybe it won’t.

Autumn by Mad SmokyFirst a quick history of feminism. Feminism first arose as a political and social movement in the late 1800's and early 1900's. We call this period of feminism: first wave feminism. The goal was simple. Create laws that give women equal rights. Some laws were for things like marriage, parenting, property, and the right to vote. You see, the rights of women in history and in almost every country have been subjected to the power of men. And many of their rights have been trampled. Of course this isn’t really a controversial idea and it's accepted by all but the most ignorant of people today. Women throughout history have gotten the short end of the stick and if you deny that, well – I don’t even know what to say about that.
In the1960s second wave feminism began. This is where the controversy occurs. Second wave feminism focused and continues to focus on wider issues. Issues like sexuality, reproductive rights, and domestic violence. In essence you can think of it as fighting against gender discrimination. And many of these rights are still being fought for around the U.S. and the world. Second wave feminists also believe that we live in a sexist power structure. In a society and political system that dictates how the personal lives of women should be. If you've ever watched the show Mad Men or any movie set before the 1960s - you'll know what I'm talking about. Very few women were able to work in business and hardly any in the government. That was the man's place. Again this is not very controversial. It hasn't been until recently that women have been able to work in fields like business or the government. And women still don't have a lot of the rights that second wave feminists have been fighting for, for the past 50 years. In the1990's the third wave of feminism began. It started in response to the perceived failures of second wave feminism. Part of that was also because women of color were not included in second wave feminism.
Third wave feminism thus was born. There are two main problems that third wave feminists have with second wave feminists. First they both think of sexuality in different ways. Think of it like this - second wave feminists are against porn and think it's degrading to women. Third wave feminism are all good with porn as long as the woman is a consenting adult. In fact many believe its empowering. Second - third wave feminist tries to expand feminism so that it doesn't just represent what white women want. But instead it tries to include women of all backgrounds. In fact Rebecca Walker created the term "Third Wave" to put focus on queer women and women of color. Third wave feminists focus less on political changes and more on individualistic identity. Things like queer theory and gender roles. Ok. So you might ask yourself what the problem is? I mean women of color, queer people, and white women all deserve to live in a just society that respects them regardless of their identity and doesn't discriminate against them because of it.

Women's History Month: Evaluating Feminism, Its Failures, and Its Future

As Women's History Month concludes, just what is the state of the women's movement and women today? How will history grade feminism? Is feminism making life better for women today? What are the consequences of policy proposals sold to women as benefiting them? As conservatives, how do we showcase that our policy solutions benefit women -- and all Americans? What are the most effective messaging strategies for reaching women?

Wendy McElroy is an individualist feminist author who co-founded The Voluntaryist with Carl Watner and George H. Smith in 1982. In this lecture, given at Dagny's Freedom Festival in Englewood, California in 1985, McElroy gives a history of feminism beginning with its modern roots in the American abolitionist movement in the early and mid-1800s. She also explains why she believes that libertarianism and feminism are incongruous when it comes to their respective goals related to social change.

The Secret Feminist History of Witches, As Told by a Practicing Witch

There’s always been a strong tie between cautionary tales of witches and the patriarchal fear of powerful women, but feminism and stories of witchcraft are much more linked than one might assume. Some of the most important witch stories in pop-culture history were influenced by major feminist writings.

Women in the 19th Century: Crash Course US History #16

In which John Green finally gets around to talking about some women's history. In the19th Century, the United States was changing rapidly, as we noted in the recent Market Revolution and ReformMovements episodes. Things were also in a state of flux for women. The reform movements, which were in large part driven by women, gave these self-same women the idea that they could work on their own behalf, and radically improve the state of their own lives. So, while these women were working on prison reform, education reform, and abolition, they also started talking about equal rights, universal suffrage, temperance, and fair pay. Women like Susan B. Anthony, Carry Nation, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the Grimkés, and Lucretia Mott strove tirelessly to improve the lot of American women, and it worked, eventually. John will teach you about the ChristianTemperanceUnion, the Seneca Falls Convention, the Declaration of Sentiments, and a whole bunch of other stuff that made life better for women.

Few women were as vocal for women's rights during the 19th century than Susan B. Anthony: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/the-life-s-work-of-susan-b-anthony

In which John Green teaches you about American women in the Progressive Era and, well, the progress they made. So the big deal is, of course, the right to vote women gained when the 19th amendment was passed and ratified. But women made a lot of other gains in the 30 years between 1890 and 1920. More women joined the workforce, they acquired lots of other legal rights related to property, and they also became key consumers in the industrial economy. Women also continued to play a vital role in reform movements. Sadly, they got Prohibition enacted in the US, but they did a lot of good stuff, too. The field of social work emerged as women like Jane Addams created settlement houses to assist immigrants in their integration into the United States. Women also began to work to make birth control widely available. You'll learn about famous reformers and activists like Alice Paul, Margaret Sanger, and Emma Goldman, among others.

Meet the feminists your professors never told you about

If someone asked, "Are you a feminist?" how would you respond? Most Americans—including large majorities of women—say no. In theAEI book, "Freedom Feminism: Its Surprising History and Why it MattersToday," Christina Hoff Sommers seeks to recover the lost history of American feminism by introducing readers to feminism's forgotten heroines. She demonstrates that a new philosophy of "freedom feminism"—in which women are free to employ their equal status to pursue happiness in their own distinctive ways—holds the key to a feminist renaissance.

On January 21, 2017, millions around the world marched to promote legislation and policies supporting women’s rights, among other things. The main event was in Washington, D.C., known as the Women’s March on Washington. It featured over half a million people, and was the largest political demonstration in D.C. since the anti-Vietnam War protests of the 1960s and 1970s.
The Women’s March is evidence that feminism is alive and well. Just so we’re clear, feminism is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. Feminists who protest think we are not there yet.
But how did feminism begin? Obviously, in this video I will tell you, and I’ll have a little help from my new friend Sami from US 101. Be sure to check out his YouTube channel. It’s pretty much amazing.
Most historians agree that the modern feminist movement began on July 19th and 20th, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. It became known as the Seneca Falls Convention. Organizers advertised it as “a convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of woman.”
Ok, so that was a bit grammatically incorrect, but you get the idea.
The convention’s two main organizers were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, who became friends 8 years prior at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. Stanton had earned a reputation as an influential activist for years, known first as a leading abolitionist and then later as a leading proponent of women’s suffrage. Mott was known for the same but also for being a powerful speaker and a Quaker, a branch of Christianity strongly tied to many of the major reforms of the 1800s, like the temperance movement.
At that anti-slavery convention, the men forced the women sit in a separate area. This really upset Stanton and Mott, and the two talked about the possibility of starting a women’s rights convention.
Flash forward 8 years later, and Stanton was now living in Seneca Falls. Meanwhile, Mott was visiting her sister, Martha Coffin Wright, in nearby Waterloo. When Mott and her sister went to hang out with Stanton, along with Mary Ann McClintock and Jane Hunt, the five of them had decided that the time was right. Five days later, the Seneca Falls Convention took place. It was the first women’s rights convention in history. There wasn’t a lot of people there, most because it wasn’t really advertised that well. Of the 300 in attendance, 40 were men.
While the Seneca Falls Convention featured some lectures and discussions and the usual convention type stuff, it’s most famous contribution was the signing of the Declaration of Sentiments. Elizabeth Cady Stanton mostly wrote the document, modeling it after the Declaration of Independence. It summarized the injustices women regularly encountered and offered 11 resolutions to give women equality. Over two days at the convention, the leaders of the convention read and debated these resolutions.

Women can now be found in prominent and important positions everywhere in contemporary society, and that’s a good thing. You can see them succeeding in a wide variety of institutions such as politics, sports, business, arts, entertainment, science, technology, the fashion industry (which they dominate), and many other fields once considered a man’s territory. Of course, things weren’t always this way, and let’s not forget that women still can’t vote and are not considered equal to men in quite a few developing countries worldwide. For centuries, women weren’t allowed to do or participate in things we take for granted today such as competing at the Olympics or performing in a play, so while we've come a long way, there's still a long way to go for the feminist movement.
Nothing has easily and freely been given to women; they have had to struggle and in many cases wage bloody battles for the rights and positions they now hold in modern society. Many women became martyrs and lost their lives during the process so that millions of women today could enjoy various freedoms and opportunities. Today we proudly present 25 Intriguing Facts About The History Of The Feminist Movement in honor of all the amazing women, both well-known and unsung, who paved the way for women’s rights and equality.

The feminist movement is often divided into two major waves. The first wave began with the suffragette movement and the struggle to extend the right to vote to women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The second wave spanned the mid-1960's through the late 1970's with debates about abortion and equal pay. (Source: britannica.com)

You might think that Hillary Clinton is the first woman to run for US president, but that honor belongs to Victoria Woodhull, who ran for the office in 1872 under the National Woman’s Suffrage Association. While women were not able to vote, there were no laws prohibiting them from running for office. (Source: history.com)

A History of Western Feminism...in 101 Seconds

KnowledgePunk proudly presents...A History of Western Feminism in 101Seconds.
Although often radically different in terms of their methods and specific goals, in general the term feminism relates to the movement to obtain increased legal, social and political rights for women. The history of the modern western feminist movements is usually divided into three so-called "waves".
The first wave focused on de jure (officially mandated) inequalities, which focused in particular on increased political rights. One of the key texts which shaped first wave feminism was Mary Wollstonecraft's 1792 A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. The movement reached its culmination with the rise of the women's suffrage movement of the early 20th century, which demanded women be given the right to vote.
The second wave was associated with the demands of the women's liberation movement, starting around the 1960s, and campaigned against de facto (unofficial) inequalities. It focused particularly on legal and social equality for women, concentrating on issues such as equality in the workplace, reproductive rights and divorce law.
The third wave, emerging in the 1990s, seeks to address what it considers the "essentialism" of second wave feminism and its emphasis on upper-middle class white women. Its focus is more disparate than the previous two waves, concentrating on issues such as gender violence and the "reclamation" of derogatory terms.

The Problem with Feminism in the 21st Century in 7 Minutes

Some of you are probably already triggered. My bad I should have put a trigger warning on the video title for all the current college students. Ok. I’m probably gonna get a lot of heat for this video. We all probably have strong feelings about this topic, whether they are in one direction or the other. But my point is not to offend, but to have a discussion about why feminism is being attacked so harshly on one side and defended like the city of Gondor in Lord of the Rings on the other. We live in dividing times – but haven’t we always? Why not try to build a bridge on such a divide rather than continually burn one? Maybe it will help. But then again maybe it won’t.

Autumn by Mad SmokyFirst a quick history of feminism. Feminism first arose as a political and social movement in the late 1800's and early 1900's. We call this period of feminism: first wave feminism. The goal was simple. Create laws that give women equal rights. Some laws were for things like marriage, parenting, property, and the right to vote. You see, the rights of women in history and in almost every country have been subjected to the power of men. And many of their rights have been trampled. Of course this isn’t really a controversial idea and it's accepted by all but the most ignorant of people today. Women throughout history have gotten the short end of the stick and if you deny that, well – I don’t even know what to say about that.
In the1960s second wave feminism began. This is where the controversy occurs. Second wave feminism focused and continues to focus on wider issues. Issues like sexuality, reproductive rights, and domestic violence. In essence you can think of it as fighting against gender discrimination. And many of these rights are still being fought for around the U.S. and the world. Second wave feminists also believe that we live in a sexist power structure. In a society and political system that dictates how the personal lives of women should be. If you've ever watched the show Mad Men or any movie set before the 1960s - you'll know what I'm talking about. Very few women were able to work in business and hardly any in the government. That was the man's place. Again this is not very controversial. It hasn't been until recently that women have been able to work in fields like business or the government. And women still don't have a lot of the rights that second wave feminists have been fighting for, for the past 50 years. In the1990's the third wave of feminism began. It started in response to the perceived failures of second wave feminism. Part of that was also because women of color were not included in second wave feminism.
Third wave feminism thus was born. There are two main problems that third wave feminists have with second wave feminists. First they both think of sexuality in different ways. Think of it like this - second wave feminists are against porn and think it's degrading to women. Third wave feminism are all good with porn as long as the woman is a consenting adult. In fact many believe its empowering. Second - third wave feminist tries to expand feminism so that it doesn't just represent what white women want. But instead it tries to include women of all backgrounds. In fact Rebecca Walker created the term "Third Wave" to put focus on queer women and women of color. Third wave feminists focus less on political changes and more on individualistic identity. Things like queer theory and gender roles. Ok. So you might ask yourself what the problem is? I mean women of color, queer people, and white women all deserve to live in a just society that respects them regardless of their identity and doesn't discriminate against them because of it.
